What Is Botox?

Botox was the first FDA approved prescription product licensed to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines and crows feet.

It is a purified protein produced by Clostridium Botulinum. Botox is also used in other areas of medicine to treat a number of different medical conditions.

How It Works

Botox temporarily blocks the transmission of signals from the nerves which normally tell the muscles to contract.

It relaxes underlying muscles and as a result causes the skin to soften existing fixed lines and wrinkles and also helps prevent static lines from becoming established.

Botox can also be used off license to change the balance between facial muscle groups to create a lift, also known as the non-surgical or chemical brow lift.

Uses For Botox

Botox can be used for a number of purposes, some of which are off license:

To soften frown and forehead lines

To soften crows feet lines surrounding the eyes

To create an eyebrow lift

To improve a gummy smile

To improve a square jaw and teeth clenching

To sharpen jaw line and reduce neck bands

To improve bunny lines on the nose

To improve smokers lines around the mouth

To improve a wrinkly chin

The Procedure

The facial muscle positions, movement and effects are first examined and marked out for accuracy of Botox placement. The Botox is then administered into the marked areas using a very short super fine needle.

Local anaesthetic is not necessary as discomfort is minimal with the technique used but if you are concerned about discomfort ice or topical numbing cream could be used.

There is minimal downtime and you can continue with your day or go back to work as normal.

The Results

It normally takes 3 to 5 days to start seeing the results, although it can be as soon as 24 to 48 hours after.

At 2 weeks full results can normally be observed. The results last at least 3 months and with continual use longer term benefits of wrinkle softening can be seen.
